Beautiful essay! I was intrigued by Ellis's non-coercive eugenics in The Task of Social Hygiene, I gave it a skim but am skeptical of his ideas there. Some of the other chapter headings look very interesting though, I may skim some of the others.
Thanks Tim! Ellis' work is a really interesting read from a history of ideas perspective, but is certainly extremely outdated now, both scientifically and morally.
